Speed

7 to fix47
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    6.1 s · 681 KiB

    About 681 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 6.1 s faster on a phone.

  • Improve image delivery

    1.3 s · 204 KiB

    9 images could be 204 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 1.3 s faster on a phone.

  • Mobile performance score: 47

    47/100

    Your mobile performance score is 47. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.

  • 8 third-party services on the page

    8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google CDN, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar and others), adding 1.6 MB and 955 ms of main-thread time.

  • Google CDN adds 575 ms

    575 ms

    Google CDN costs a phone 575 ms of main-thread work and 1.1 MB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    10 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 300 ms.

  • Main-thread work: 2.7 s

    A phone's processor spends 2.7 s on main-thread work while loading, 1.4 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.

  • 13 long tasks on the main thread

    13 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 139 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Font display

    100 ms

    Web fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 100 ms).

  • Use efficient cache lifetimes

    50 ms · 15 KiB

    5 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (15 KiB).

  • Chained critical requests

    Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

  • Minify JavaScript

    2 KiB

    2 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

1 checks passed
  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

6 to fix55
  • First Contentful Paint: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 8.5 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 15.5 s

    15.5 s

    Your largest element takes 15.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the image “CommandIQ Case Study Cover Image”.

  • Time to Interactive: 15.7 s

    15.7 s

    The page becomes fully interactive after 15.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.

  • Speed Index: 8.5 s

    8.5 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 8.5 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Total Blocking Time: 351 ms

    351 ms

    Scripts block taps and scrolling for 351 ms in total while the page loads. Good is under 200 ms.

  • 8 images without width and height

    8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

1 checks passed
  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0.089

    0.089

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0.089, good is under 0.1).

Images and page weight

2 to fix81
  • Page weight: 2.8 MB in 70 requests

    2.8 MB

    Your homepage downloads 2.8 MB in 70 requests on a phone: scripts 1.4 MB (21), images 429 KiB (21) and fonts 410 KiB (8). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.

  • An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded

    command-iq-cover-2024-1x.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).

  • About 0.8 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.78 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.78 g of CO₂e: 93.6 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

2 checks passed
  • Images use modern formats

    Every sizeable image is WebP, AVIF or SVG.

  • Images are sized for phones

    No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.

Accessibility

9 to fixGoogle 9590
  • Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (9 elements)

    Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 9 elements on the page fail this check, rated serious by axe-core.

  • All page content should be contained by landmarks (32 elements)

    All page content should be contained by landmarks: 32 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination (2 elements)

    Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination: 2 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark (1 element)

    Contentinfo landmark should not be contained in another landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark (1 element)

    Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • No main landmark

    The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

  • Page should contain a level-one heading (1 element)

    Page should contain a level-one heading: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated moderate by axe-core.

  • 2 links without text

    2 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.

  • 1 form field without a label

    1 form field has no label, so screen readers announce an empty box and autofill guesses.

2 checks passed
  • Every image has alt text

    All 51 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.

  • 42 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 49 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 42 passed and 7 failed. 3 mores need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 9286
  • No structured data

    No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.

  • No canonical URL

    No canonical URL, so duplicate versions of the homepage (with or without www, with tracking parameters) can split ranking signals.

  • No XML sitemap

    No XML sitemap at https://www.interpixdesign.com/sitemap.xml, so Google discovers your pages only by following links.

  • 1 link with vague text

    1 link use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind it.

  • No X (Twitter) card tag

    No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.

  • 52 internal links, 6 external

    The homepage links to 52 pages on interpixdesign.com and 6 external pages.

5 checks passed
  • Meta description: 149 characters

    Your meta description is 149 characters: “Full-service UX design and marketing agency offering usability testing, user interface design, website design and devel…”.

  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Home Page”.

  • Title: 56 characters

    Your title is a healthy 56 characters: “Leading Toronto-based UX design agency - Interpix Design”.

  • Open Graph tags complete

    Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.

  • robots.txt in place

    robots.txt is in place.

AI search readiness

1 to fix88
  • No Organization structured data

    There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.

  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://www.interpixdesign.com/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 checks passed
  • AI answer engines may read the site

    Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (609 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

1 to fix98
  • 2 pages share a meta description

    https://www.interpixdesign.com/dp-mem-case-study.html and https://www.interpixdesign.com/change-management.html use the same meta description. A description written for each page earns more clicks.

  • 8 pages slow to respond

    https://www.interpixdesign.com/contact-us.html, https://www.interpixdesign.com/command-iq-case-study.html, https://www.interpixdesign.com/aus-case-study.html, https://www.interpixdesign.com/dp-mem-case-study.html, https://www.interpixdesign.com/aoda-compliance.html and https://www.interpixdesign.com/invafresh-case-study.html and 2 others took over 3 s to send their HTML from our server.

  • 15 internal pages checked

    We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 36 found) and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

Best practices

2 to fixGoogle 9687
  • 7 small tap targets

    7 of 18 tappable elements near the top of the page are smaller than 24 px, hard to hit with a thumb.

  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED”.

1 checks passed
  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

2 to fix88
  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 598 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 598 words of visible text.

6 checks passed
  • Clear next step on the first screen

    On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Contact”.

  • 2 calls to action

    The homepage has 2 calls to action, for example “Contact” and “Learn More”.

  • 1 short form

    A short form (4 fields at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.

  • Social proof on the page

    Social proof on the homepage: 39 testimonial or review blocks and 26 customer or partner logos.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Google Analytics and Hotjar.

  • Direct contact links

    Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.

Privacy and tracking

1 to fix
  • 4 trackers load before any consent

    4

    Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Ads, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Hotjar (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.

  • 6 cookies set on arrival

    6

    Opening the homepage sets 6 cookies, 2 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

  • 15 other companies contacted

    Loading the homepage contacts 15 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at interpixdesign.com, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
